7 day "Grace period" on 90 reporting?

[joeyg]

Stapled on the page next to these stamps on the small piece of white paper is the

NOTICE

TO NOTIFY IF STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS

To notify again on 27 APR 2015

I did have one question. The officer told me that there was a 7 day period. I couldn't get it clear because an argument was starting with an English guy that was getting pretty heated with one of the officers who was by the way very cool and polite.

The question is, is there a 7 day grace period to come in after the 27 APR 2015 date stamped, or are you supposed to come in 7 days before the stamp expires. Thanks in advance.

You can do the 90 day report 15 days before the report date or 7 days after including the report date in the count.

Some follow on clarity..

An officer in Chiang Mai immigration said that the 7 day after grace period would also count if I was leaving the country.. But posters on here have said otherwise, that even being a couple of days over on the 90 day report, when leaving Thailand, yet still being within the 7 days 'grace' still results in a 2k fine.

Which is it ??

The 7 days is only for doing the report. Leaving after the report date is not a report.

You would only be fined 2k baht if immigration was to notice it when you make your first report after returning.

Ahh I see you dont pay your fine at the border at departure.. But on next 90 day report.. Potentially avoided by a few border hops confusing it ??

Secondly immigration was clearly then wrong.. She was amazingly confident about it and clear too.. Even asking when I planned to travel (9 or 10 days after the report due date) and explainign if I was to just go a few days earlier there would be no fine due to the 7 days..

Just ignore the posts after my first one. Your topic got derailed by a off topic post.
